Specific router bit

I am looking for a router bit to recreate the baseboards in my 90 yr old house. The picture is very close representation of what I have.  Any suggestions would be appreciated by this newbie.

Well here in the UK and I am pretty sure you can in the USA  get cutters made at a reasonable cost.    You simply send a sample piece of your baseboard and they make the cutter to fit.     But if you replacing the lot and not trying to match into existing then finding a cutter to match is cheapest option. It's a simple mould and pretty sure their will be a close match available But can't help cus Im uk Soz

I have a 100+ year old house with base board of a similar look.  I ended up making my own using three different cuts in conjunction with one another.  I used rounded bit to achieve the inner radius, removed some of the material I think with the table saw (might have been a straight router bit) and then the top radius with the third cut.  I little sanding evened all the surfaces.  I made enough for several large rooms in my restoration project.

I believe you can have custom bits made, but I didn't want to spend the money when I could utilize the relatively simple existing bits I had.  Good luck.

You have a 90 years old house and your baseboard is 5/8" thick?

That profile and size looks like my raised panel shaper cutter that I purchased from Freeborn Toll Company.
